My friend who just graduated from my law school a few years ago told me not to talk about grades - that it would either make me feel bad or make the other person feel bad - and that no good would come of it.

I have one grade so far and I've only told my family. I haven't even discussed the fact that we have a grade posted with any of my classmates, let alone tell them how I fared.

I'm starting school soon - Should I expect that a lot of my classmates will be discussing grades? I was surprised by how many people discussed exams, but grades are more personal.

Did many people at your school discuss grades? Ask about yours? Tell you theirs? I'm just wondering what to expect..
